Steve, it's easy to see the added strength needed if you look around at many disk brake frames they frequently have either very substantial rear drop outs or a small tube or loop on the brake side that goes from the chain stay to the seat stay. As for the spelling I try to stay on top of it, but I only access this group through my phone 90% of the time and it spell checks words for me, sometimes I don't notice it's inserted the wrong word until I hit the post button! Then it's too late to change
I agree with Richards comment about off road though, but interject that the problem with popping over obstacles is not confined strictly to off road. I only really ever hit light dirt trails around town here, but I can't count the number of times I have had a hard contact with the front wheel trying to pop over a curb. Until the Clementine I have never had to worry about getting snake bite flats on the front wheel! AND having a basket on the front does not help at all! Speaking of Clementines, that black frame on the Riv site looks absolutely sinister! If anyone wanted a step through and wanted it to look masculine, the black certainly does that! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
